Deconstructed Stove-Top "Shakshuka"

 

 
 
In an effort to create another tasty, flavor packed dish that was also diet friendly, I re-imagined a cultural classic: Shakshuka. Traditional shakshuka is a North African and Middle Eastern dish consisting of poached eggs cooked in a tomato sauce with onions, garlic, peppers, and an array of aromatic spices. The hubby wouldn't have been a fan of just eating eggs and veggies, so I adjusted and added ground sausage and used an over medium egg instead. And TA-DA! My stove-top shakshuka recipe was born!
